What ever happened to personal responsibility????? If I ate Leggos should I be able to sue the Leggo company for MY problem?
That is just it...at what point does the “duty of care” begin and stop.
An alcoholic at a bar drinks, gets drunk, gets in car, and kills ...the bar can be sued?

A compulsive gambler....gambles away the family savings. Does the casino have some level of ‘duty?’
In this particular case, the person was on the list...and they let him continue gambling. Key here is he was on their list. At what point should they have cut him off?
The casino knew he was at risk and as an admitted addict knew he couldn’t control himself. He was using a ‘fun card’ and it wasn’t like the computers and personnel didn’t realize he was there.
If I ate Leggos should I be able to sue the Leggo company for MY problem?... Sure, unless you did yell “Leggo of my Leggos’s.”
